๐ข Terminal Information
Bardufoss Airport (BDU) serves the municipality of Mรฅlselv in Northern Norway, functioning as a vital joint-use civilian and military airfield. As Norway's oldest operational air station (established in 1938), it is home to the Royal Norwegian Air Force, including advanced F-35 fighter jet hangar facilities since 2024. The civilian terminal is a compact facility that efficiently handles scheduled commercial passenger flights, primarily connecting to Oslo via SAS and Norwegian Air, alongside its significant military operations. The airport's location in the Arctic makes it a crucial base for NATO cold weather training for various international forces.\n\nSecurity procedures at BDU are robust, aligning with Norwegian and international aviation standards, with additional military protocols in place. Passengers can expect thorough screening for both domestic and any occasional international flights. Due to its dual civilian-military role, there may be periods of increased activity or specific access restrictions. Travelers are advised to follow all instructions from airport and military personnel. Boarding is typically conducted directly from the terminal to the aircraft, often a Boeing 737 or similar, or by bus transfer to remote stands. Winter operations are highly efficient, with advanced snow removal and de-icing procedures to maintain schedules in the Arctic climate.\n\nAmenities within the civilian terminal are limited but adequate for short waits. There is usually a small cafรฉ offering hot drinks and snacks. Restrooms and basic waiting areas are available. Travelers will not find extensive duty-free shops or a wide array of dining options. For ground transportation, taxis and pre-booked transfers are typically available, connecting passengers to Mรฅlselv, Bardufoss town, and surrounding areas. The airport serves as a unique gateway to the Arctic wilderness, offering opportunities for northern lights viewing, military heritage exploration, and access to the Lyngen Alps.
